It's never been the obvious with HEMO/Vlad before.
Remember we had this RNS on 2 Oct 2024 (how is this to be sorted out if shares cannot be issued at the moment):
Strategic Investment from Prevail Partners, LLC
· Prevail Partners, LLC to invest again in Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals
· Prevail InfoWorks, Inc. to act as Clinical Research Organization (CRO) for upcoming Phase I pediatric clinical study
Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals plc (LSE: HEMO), the biopharmaceutical group developing new therapies and treatments for blood diseases, announces that Prevail Partners, LLC ("Prevail Partners"), an investment fund, has agreed to invest a total of $350,000 (approximately £269,000) in the Company through a subscription for ordinary shares in the Company at a price of US$0.075 per share (approximately 5.6p). This follows a similar investment in the Company by Prevail Partners announced on 18 September 2024. The subscription price represents a premium of approximately 275% to the Company's closing share price on 1 October 2024.
The subscription will take effect in March 2025 ahead of the planned HEMO-CAR-T pediatric study. This will follow the initiation of the adult clinical trial in HEMO-CAR-T at the MD Anderson Cancer Center, Texas, which is expected to commence later this year. The agreement governing the subscription contains customary warranties from the Company and Prevail Partners.
The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals LLC, has also signed an amendment to the Master Service and Technology Agreement ("MSTA"), (the "Amendment") with Prevail InfoWorks, Inc. ("InfoWorks"), the Philadelphia, PA based Clinical Research Organization ("CRO"), and affiliate of Prevail Partners. Infoworks is already contracted by the Company in relation to the existing planned HEMO-CAR-T clinical trials in adult patients.
The subscription funds received from Prevail Partners will in large part defray the payment made by the Company for the first stage of the work to be undertaken by InfoWorks under the Amendment.
Mary Schaheen, President of Prevail Partners, stated: "Everyone at our fund is confident in the growth and success of Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals as they develop CAR-T cells to target acute myeloid leukaemia and a subset of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in children. Furthermore, Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals has a seasoned management team with the expertise to accelerate the Company to a significant value inflection point through the completion of its planned clinical trial."
